Analysis
This Cape Farewell video clip shows scientists back at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, analysing the samples of phytoplankton and zooplankton taken in the Arctic, identifying species and counting their abundance.
Activity G - Plankton analysis is...
This collection of resources was developed for GCSE courses by Cape Farewell in partnership with the Nuffield Curriculum Programme. The Cape Farewell expedition has carried out a series of voyages of discovery in a sailing schooner to Svalbard in the Norwegian Arctic. In one voyage scientists and teachers...
Life in the Water *suitable for home teaching*
This Cape Farewell video clip shows that phytoplankton and zooplankton have a crucial place in the Arctic food chain which is highly sensitive to change. The Cape Farewell scientists need to study plankton to understand how they respond to global climate change.

Life in the Water: Teacher Guidance
These teachers’ notes were produced to support the use of the series of video clips and activities about a Cape Farewell expedition to the Norwegian Arctic. The notes provide detailed guidance on each of the video clips and activities.
They also suggest a series of six lessons based on the resources. The...
Measuring the Oceans
This Cape Farewell video clip explains that scientists use satellite images and optical measurements to detect phytoplankton in the oceans and that they use various methods to capture their samples. Scientists are shown looking at some of the plankton samples they have captured.
...Plankton and Global Warming *suitable for home teaching*
This Cape Farewell video clip features a discussion about the three important carbon cycles at work in the oceans and their place in global warming.
In Activity I - Carbon cycle, students use the video to build up...
Recording Plankton Data
This Cape Farewell video clip shows how plankton data is recorded and used as evidence in scientific research.
Activity H - Plankton data is based on a spreadsheet which students used to answer questions and look...
Science – the Big Questions
This Cape Farewell video features a conversation at the National Oceanography Centre about how scientists from different disciplines work together to answer the big questions. This can be used to review some of the ways that scientists have arrived at their ideas...
The Hypothesis
This Cape Farewell video clip explains that phytoplankton absorb carbon dioxide and can act as indicators of global warming. The video clip includes a discussion about a hypothesis that increasing phytoplankton could balance the effects of global warming.
...The Voyages
This Cape Farewell video clip provides a general introduction to the voyage of The Noorderlicht to Svalbard and to the Cape Farewell scientists Simon, Val and Sarah. The scientists discuss their work with two teachers, Mike and Subathra.
The presentation called...
